What works here
Shoot the building from the Montrose-Bissonnet corner — the angled facade gives you a strong leading line. Interior shows allow photography in most rooms; verify per show. Free admission means casual exterior shoots are easy.

Lighting
Steel skin reads silver at midday, warm at golden hour, blue-black at dusk.
